Yoo Jung-nam
Yoo Jung-nam is a South Korean swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events. He represented his nation South Korea at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has won a career total of four medals in a major international competition, spanning the 2002 Asian Games and the 2005 East Asian Games. Yoo is also a member of the swimming team and a graduate of physical education at Seoul National University.
Yoo competed for the South Korean swimming team in the men's 200 m butterfly at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Leading up to the Games, he topped the field with a blistering 2:00.77 to register under the FINA B-cut at the Dong-A Swimming Championships in Ulsan. Rallying from sixth at the 150-metre turn in heat two, Yoo put up a late resistant surge on the final lap to edge out the frontrunners Douglas Lennox-Silva of Puerto Rico and Vladan Marković of Serbia by almost a full-body length for the fourth spot in 2:01.00. Yoo failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed thirty-fourth out of 44 swimmers in the prelims.
